Abstract:
In an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a fixed reference node, at least one round-trip propagation time (RTT) ranging scheduling message indicating a set of downlink (DL) ranging resource assignments and a set of uplink (UL) ranging resource grants, receives one or more DL ranging signals from the fixed reference node on a first set of resources identified by the set of DL ranging resource assignments, and transmits one or more UL ranging signals to the fixed reference node on a second set of resources identified by the set of UL ranging resource grants.
Abstract:
An example of a method of determining a position of a device includes: receiving, with a receiver of the device, a signal from a reference emitter; obtaining a code phase measurement of the signal; obtaining a carrier phase measurement of the signal; calculating an intermediate quantity that is a function of the code phase measurement and the carrier phase measurement; calculating a carrier phase smoothed estimate of a code phase of the signal based, at least in part, on a robust aggregation of the intermediate quantity; and determining the position of the device based, at least in part, on the carrier phase smoothed estimate of the code phase.
Abstract:
A range between a first wireless device and a second wireless device is estimated using a first mechanism based on messages transmitted over a first communication channel. The first communication channel is associated with a first radio access technology capability of the wireless devices. One or more metrics indicative of an accuracy of the range estimates provided by the first mechanism are obtained. A second mechanism to estimate a range between the first wireless device and the second wireless device may be implemented in favor of the first mechanism when the metric fails to satisfy a criterion. The second mechanism is based on unicast messages transmitted over a second communication channel. The second communication channel is associated with a second radio access technology capability of the wireless devices and may be the same as, or different from, the first communication channel.
Abstract:
Association algorithms of newly-detected lane boundaries to lane boundaries can be made more robust through the use of generated or "dummy" states. Different types of dummy states can be used to identify outlier/erroneous detections and/or new, legitimate lane boundaries. Therefore, depending on a type of dummy state a newly-detected lane boundary is associated with, the newly-detected lane boundary can be ignored, or the associated dummy state can be added to the lane boundary states of the filter.
Abstract:
Techniques and systems are provided for determining one or more sizes of one or more objects. For example, a bounding region identifying a first object detected in an image can be obtained. A map including map points can also be obtained. The map points correspond to one or more reference locations in a three-dimensional space. The bounding region identifying the first object can be associated with at least one map point of the map points included in the map. Using the bounding region and the at least one map point, an estimated three-dimensional position and an estimated size of the first object detected in the image can be determined. In some examples, other information can be used to estimate the estimated three-dimensional position and an estimated size of the first object, such as radar information and/or other information.
Abstract:
Various embodiments disclose a device with one or more processors which may be configured to translate a radio detection and ranging (RADAR) reference depth map into depth information in at least one image plane of at least one camera, to form a three-dimensional RADAR depth image. The 3D RADAR depth image includes a depth estimate of each pixel. The one or more processors may also be configured to initialize a RADAR-aided visual inertial odometer based on the depth estimates from the RADAR reference depth image to track the device position.
Abstract:
Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for processing satellite positioning system (SPS) signals for performing positioning operations. In particular, devices, systems disclosed herein are directed to determining estimates of undifferenced ambiguity values of a plurality of received SPS signals; and solving for a time based, at least in part, on the estimates of undifferenced ambiguity values.
Abstract:
The disclosure generally relates to position sensors, and more particularly to outlier detection using spatial displacement data. An apparatus for use in position sensing may include a displacement sensor, a positioning signal receiver having a receiver clock, a memory, and a processor coupled to the displacement sensor, the positioning signal receiver, and the memory. The processor and memory may be configured to calculate a change in a receiver clock bias of the receiver clock based on range measurements and spatial-based displacement data, propagate a first range measurement based, at least in part, on the spatial-based displacement data and the change in the receiver clock bias, and determine an outlier range measurement based, at least in part, on the propagated first range measurement.
Abstract:
System, methods, and apparatus are described for transmitting encoded bits over a bus by conditionally embedding dynamically shielded information. In an example, the apparatus transmits a first group of encoded bits over a bus, generates a second group of encoded bits to be transmitted over the bus, where a first subset of the second group of encoded bits are encoded to avoid crosstalk-inducing bit transitions on adjacent lines of the bus, and configures one or more encoded bits of a second subset of the second group of encoded bits to ensure that the second group of encoded bits includes parity information and/or clock information, while further ensuring that crosstalk-inducing bit transitions in the second group of encoded bits are avoided.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for radar or LIDAR measurement are presented. Some configurations include transmitting, via a transceiver, a first beam having a first frequency characteristic; calculating a distance between the transceiver and a moving object based on information from at least one reflection of the first beam; transmitting, via the transceiver, a second beam having a second frequency characteristic that is different than the first frequency characteristic, wherein the second beam is directed such that an axis of the second beam intersects a ground plane; and calculating an ego-velocity of the transceiver based on information from at least one reflection of the second beam. Applications relating to road vehicular (e.g., automobile) use are described.
